Celebrating Thai New Year (Songkran)
The Thai New Year, known as Songkran (Thai: สงกรานต์), is celebrated from April 13 to 15. It is also observed in Laos, Myanmar (called Thingyan), and by ethnic Dai in Yunnan, China. Sri Lanka celebrates a similar festival under the Sinhalese and Tamil New Year banner.
Originally determined by astrological calculations, the festival now falls on fixed dates. If these dates overlap a weekend, the missed holidays roll over to the following weekdays. While Thailand uses fixed dates, Sri Lanka continues to rely on astrological signs to commence the festivities.
Songkran is timed at the hottest part of the year, marking the end of the dry season. Before 1888, the Thai New Year marked the year's beginning, later changed to April 1 until 1940. January 1 is now recognized as the start of the year. Nonetheless, the traditional Thai New Year remains a cherished national holiday.
